These platforms would be better if they banned all political ads. I flag all political ads no matter who they are. If I want politics, I will go to political sites.

I only watch the Pats. I can ignore the anthem. There is no reason why if I am seeing what my friends and family are up to I have to be accosted by blah blah blah about how awful blah blah blah is. My reasoning is social media should be social. There are 5 million or so other places to find out how awful so and so is. And if what looks like is going to happen with the helmet rule happens (games will be decided just like the catch rule, all subjective with NY having the over ride option), I won't be watching the Pats either. I come to the P and R forum for P and R. There is another side to this site I can stay on and stay relatively free from politics.

tmack used some very reasoned property rights arguments in the gay-cake thread, and I fail to see how this is different.
Facebook owns their platform. By those same arguments they can allow whom they choose to use it and the market will sort it out. |

Facebook finds Alex Jones offensive. I find all political ads offensive. I can flag and tell facebook that I find political ads offensive. Facebook does not have to ban the ads. They do stop showing as many political ads on my timeline though. That is all I was asking for. I did not demand that no one else see these ads.

I agree that letting the market sort this out is the best solution. Part of letting the market sort it out is making companies like Facebook aware that people know it is being biased so it can make a decision on whether it wants to continue to operate that way or not. Part of letting the market sort it out is also making people aware that a product they use is biased so they can make a decision on whether to continue to use that product or not and if they want to create a competing product. The dialogue is important.

Just yesterday I had a post taken sown as hate speech for pointing out that Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist minister. I was taken aback. But like Tmack said, let everyone know what's going on at Facebook and the market will come up with something new if there's enough interest which I think there is. Zuckerberg is not forcing anyone to use his platform. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk |

It's true. I haven't posted on Facebook in years and not a single bad thing has happened to me as a result.

You are missing the whole point of what the social media sites are doing to free speech...
Google is working on it asap with their AI. Their goal? No more free speech. Only PC approved. Only what they deem as acceptable. If you happen to color outside of the lines...you will either be banned or be blacklisted. In other words, no free speech. Last edited by Big/Sky/Fly; 08-19-2018 at 02:10 PM.. |

Pretty much all of the big social media sites are bankrolled by the gubmint too...don't think that these are just private companies. They got big for a reason...
